You'd be surprised! They're not "attacking" each other, but they're mating! If one is chasing the other and biting them, you have 2 goldfish that are mating, not attacking each other! Hope this helps!

Goldfish are not naturally an aggressive fish. Chasing is often done as a prelude to breeding so is nudging. They are however omnivourous and fin nipping can happen sometimes if the fish are not getting enough protein in their diet.

If you have more than 2 they are either fighting to work out the pecking order in the group or they are trying to find a suitable mate. If you have just 2 they are probably checking one another out as potential breeding partners.

cause they don't like each other and they `re probably in a tank all by themselves, if they were not the people working there would take the goldfish out and put it in another tank. You should ,too.

It depends on who you are and what you think is cute. I myself think goldfish are okay but are not the cutest things in the world. Hope that is what you are looking for!

Will the goldfish die if it is bitten by a beta?

No, it will not die, but don't be worried by your beta attacking a goldfish. Betas are usually only violent toward other betas, so your goldfish is safe. Also, I believe betas are tropical fish and goldfish are coldwater, but I have heard many sucess stories of betas surviving years in coldwater tanks and bowls. Best of luck
